flood damage Applications

Watermaster Classic can move and work in extreme conditions. Because of this Watermster is ideal for preventing e.g. floods and damage caused by flooding. This multipurpose dredger can operate where no other machine can.

The largest threat to wetlands is the risk of being flooded with sediment as a result of a poorly managed construction site. Most construction projects require erosion control to prevent damage to the wetlands.

Hydrocarbons in municipal water supplies, including fresh water and desalination systems, are commonly limited to less than 1 part per million. Surface water from rivers, lakes, or the sea with marine traffic, nearby pipelines, or regular flooding can be contaminated by hydrocarbons. Freshwater treatment systems can be damaged by hydrocarbons or allow them to pass through undetected. Desalination systems using reverse osmosis (RO) membranes can be irreversibly damaged by the presence of hydrocarbons. Continuous monitoring of water source intakes can prevent system contamination and subsequent damage. Accurate, low maintenance monitoring systems such as the TD-4100 XD and XDC have been protecting water intakes worldwide for over 20 years.

In urban areas can geotextiles be found in most diverse applications. The geotextiles are being used in access and paved roads, sport fields, riverbed protection, drainage trenches and pond liner protection. The geotextiles are also being used in vertical drainage applications. Groundwater and excess rainwater can be controlled well when geotextiles are properly used. More and more floods cause serious damage to urban areas.

GeoVantage digital multispectral imaging enables large-scale environmental changes such as fire damage, flooding, erosion, or chemical spills, to be quickly located and quantified. Recurrent issues can be tracked over time by comparing imagery taken at different intervals. This approach allows for the most effective containment and solution planning.

Vac‐Tron vacuum excavation equipment can be used for the application of Micro‐Tunneling and/or Foundation Stabilization. Microtunneling is used to construct small tunnels. This process enables access to plumbing, electrical wiring, termite repair, flooding, crawl space and historical restoration without compromising the integrity of the foundation. By using the “soft‐dig” technique under the foundation or slab, there is no risk of damaging any previous utilities or structural damage to the building. The debris removed will only have to be handled one time. This process would be best served with the Vac‐Tron AIR855 model to accommodate the volume of debris, as well as having the flexibility of back‐filling with the dirt that was removed after the process has been completed.
